"Similarly, He also seized a portion of the Fragment of Demise and sealed it with His own body."

"The incomplete Fragment of Demise is sealed by Dragon Island, and the Star God containing part of the Fragment of Demise has fallen. The remaining power transformed into the Silent True Demon possessing part of the demise power."

In this way, bringing the Silent True Demon to Dragon Island’s seal could potentially result in an outcome that no one expects.

——The Fragment of Demise replenished itself through the Silent True Demon and revived from the Black Hole.

——The Star God replenished a part of itself from the Fragment of Demise and revived from the Aether.

——The Star God and Demise battled in the Cradle, and even Terra was obliterated!

This might be the truth behind the world’s destruction I foresaw.

At this moment, Ian continued moving forward and had already reached the depths of the Light Realm.

Essentially, the Light Realm is an ’Elemental Plane’ formed by the residual energy of the Star God in the Subspace after His death. Its core is the region with the highest energy. Others may need to trace the threads and slowly explore the labyrinth, but for Ian with the Foresight View, finding the energy center is as easy as drinking soup.

It’s as bright as the sun, needing no search.

[The Pearl of the Light Realm has yet to condense]

The Pupationer also sensed this point. When he was young, he also participated in the exploration when the Light Realm first opened, but no one, regardless of which side they’re on, could match the speed at which Ian advanced this time.

He thought Ian wanted to use his Seer’s Ability to obtain treasures within the Light Realm and reminded him, [The Pearl of Light Realm is incomplete, and you cannot enter the core area, where an incredibly terrifying light barrier acts as a protective membrane.]

[Unless you can counteract the entire Light Realm with your own power, it’s impossible to enter it.]

"I know."

Ian did not turn back but strode forward without the slightest hesitation: "But that barrier is for you, not for me."

"I’m different from you, Savaga. You all only want the treasures within the Light Realm..."

"Whereas I desire the Light Realm itself."

The Fifth Energy Level powerhouse’s pace was incredibly swift, arriving at the center of the Light Realm before the Pupationer could reply.

Unlike the surrounding ordinary region of the Light Realm enveloped by numerous light mists, the core of the Light Realm was a massive depression.

Originating from all directions, hundreds of flowing river of lights converged at the edge of the depression, transforming into waterfalls plunging to its deepest point.

The densely packed waterfalls fell, beams of light spanned the heavens and earth, brilliant streams traversing, containing endless information flow, like some neural network or a complex and dense cardiac cycle, the core of which, continuously expanding and contracting, resembled the beating of a heart.

At the very core of the aura, there was a bright ’jewel’ with countless facets radiating infinite rainbow light.

Visibly, substantial ’vitality’ transformed into blazing flames surrounding it, levitating in the very center of the Light Realm, embraced by all rivers, waterfalls, and brilliance, basking in super-white.

That was the Life-Extending Treasure of the Fifth Energy Level, one of the most precious treasures in the world [Pearl of Light Realm].

Its prototype.

Ian could see that the Pearl of the Light Realm was not fully formed; its core was not yet blazing, the substantial life flame surrounding it had not been fully absorbed. Perhaps in twenty or thirty years, it would take form, and the Light Realm would activate, but for now, it was just a prototype.

The Pupationer also gazed at this pearl, his expression tinged with regret.

He was already very old, having fought many times when he was youthful, burning much life. Even if he achieved success in his cultivation of the Arcane Pathway, surviving until then was uncertain.

If not for his aging, he wouldn’t have allied with Ian immediately after the young man defeated the Ashen King, assisting him in stabilizing Fiery Flame Land — he couldn’t match Ian nor outlast the young man. Thus, before the next generation grew, he had to concede and form an alliance.

But if he could obtain the complete Pearl of the Light Realm and live a second life... then he would have the fighting spirit to challenge all the world’s powerful entities for that final battle against the everlasting divine mechanism!

Sadly, there’s no ’if.’

[That is the light barrier protecting the ’Pearl.’] Raising his hand, the Pupationer calmly stated, [Although it’s a barrier, it gives a sense of ’skeleton’... We’ve speculated that this might be the Light Realm nourishing some sort of super biological process, besides its life-extending nature, the Pearl might also be a super biological embryo.]

With that, he raised his hand, releasing a stream of grey gas.

Above the pearl, there were weaving rotating rays forming a lattice. Appearing like a net woven from light, capable of repelling all outsiders with ulterior motives. Its structure was extremely sturdy, having deep ties with the hundreds of converging rivers and waterfalls of light across the Light Realm.

The grey gas released by the Pupationer was negative energy condensed, appearing mundane, but once it targeted, even a mountain peak would be corroded, weakened, lifeless.

Yet, when the grey gas struck the light barrier, it sparked lightly, much like mosquitoes striking an electric bat, then vanished unseen.

"Your speculation is correct." Witnessing the scene, Ian squinted, acknowledging the Pupationer’s thought: "But what it’s consolidating should be a sort of power core instead of a biological embryo."

As if, the Pearl of the Light Realm was the result of the residual energy intention of the Star God in the material realm attempting to reconsolidate, merely lacking significant portions... for instance, the ’Subspace Network’ of the New Continent and its various unique legacies, hence unable to reconsolidate successfully.

Moreover, assuming Ian’s inference is correct, a critical part of the Star God remains sealed within Dragon Island, ensuring His reconsolidation is utterly impossible.

Thus, the excessively accumulated, unreleasable energy manifested as pearls, benefitting these major forces surrounding the Tranquil Sea.

The Pupationer was unaware of Ian’s thoughts, merely wanting to warn him about the site’s defensive peril, dispelling Ian’s random exploration intentions — although he didn’t think Ian would perish here, if he did, it’s merely the Fairy Body.

Nevertheless, since joining the ’Alliance of Ian’s Halo,’ the Pupationer hoped the alliance’s core wouldn’t be harmed for trivial reasons.

But the next moment, he was bewildered to see Ian spread his arms and leapt directly toward the light barrier and pearl —

[Wait — what?!]

The Pupationer instinctively reached out to grab Ian, yet Ian’s leap was without warning, and extremely swift, leaving him to watch Ian transform into a blue stream of light, plunging onto the light barrier.

Then, countless times that day he felt disbelief, for the light barrier seemed to greet its owner, opening a gap before the blue light touched it, like an embrace, welcoming Ian inside!
